burgers

Tacos are the pinnacle of food, so making anything into the shape of a taco makes it at least 50% more delicious. It’s a fact.

Knowing this, The Vulgar Chef made a taco “shell” of sorts using fries, and he filled the inside of the taco with hamburger. Here’s what he had to say about his creation:

The fries are prepared same as with the other fry recipes. I chop up some fries, mix them with shredded cheese, nuke them in the microwave for a good 30 seconds. Form the fries into the desires shape I need.

For the fry shells the desired shape is a circle. The easiest way to go about this is to lay the nuked cheesy fries out on a flat surface, and let cool slightly.

The folks at Zombie Burger, a Des Moines, Iowa-based restaurant, are fans of the Human Centipede movies and decided that they would be a great inspiration for food. Naturally.

In honor of the series, the burger joint recently concocted the “Martin’s Revenge” burger–named after the bad guy in the second film, Martin Lomax–and it features a “three-piece slider bun with a different burger in each segment.”

The first burger is steak with cheddar, bacon and red raw onion. The second is a burger patty with American cheese, pulled barbecue bacon and sauteed red onion. The third burger is a loose meat sandwich with house-made cheese whiz and bacon-red onion jam.

“I was trying to figure out a way to do a take on the movie through a burger,” McKern said. “I basically started with whole ingredients, and processed them down from slider to slider.”

The burger goes for $10.79, and frankly, I’m just happy the chef didn’t sew the burgers together…or include human meat.

Everybody loves spaghetti and meatballs, right? Well, there is one downside to the dish–you can’t exactly eat it on the go. Not to worry, because Los Angeles-based eatery The Carving Board has just solved that particular dilemma with their Spaghetti Meatballwich.

The sandwich features buns made from spaghetti along with meatballs and gooey mozzarella. Honestly, how amazing does that look?

Xbox fans will probably be happy to hear that Triple-O’s, a fast food chain in Hong Kong, has partnered with Microsoft to create a “Xbox One” burger. This is a limited-time only offer, and it looks like the burger either comes with a beef patty and Triple “O” sauce or a grilled chicken patty with honey mustard mayo. Microsoft is also planning on including vouchers with the burger for consoles bundles as part of a broader celebration of the Lunar New Year.

Philadelphia/New York burger joint PYT has come up with some crazy burger concoctions, but this time they’ve come up with a crazy burger deal. They’re currently running a Groupon deal that will allow you enjoy a whole year’s worth of burgers for $144.

They estimate that it’s actually a $4,380 value so this is one heck of a Groupon (though the medical expenses that follow might make up for it). That’s a burger a day for a year and it even includes fries!

Better hurry though. The deal is only good until tonight, February 11th, at 11:59 PM EST.

Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard is teaming up with blogger Cole Bowden to release a pun-filled Bob’s Burgers cookbook. Bowden’s site, The Bob’s Burgers Experiment, has recreated many of the crazy burgers from the chalkboard in the show so the team-up is a great fit.

Anthony Bourdain took some time to visit one of the best burger joints in California–I’m talking about In-N-Out, of course. He also brought a camera along and recorded some of his thoughts about the popular chain. He notes that on his social media accounts, his In-N-Out Burger pictures are typically the most “liked” images, and he also goes on to say that In-N-Out is “the only fast food chain that I actually like and think is reasonably good for the world.”

In a world where crazy stacked burgers within burgers get a ton of attention, but sometimes, simple and delicious is far more droolworthy.

If you like onion rings on your cheeseburgers, you’re gonna love this. The ShackMeister Burger at Shake Shack is 100% all-natural Angus beef topped with crispy marinated shallots, cheese, and their famous ShackSauce.

The burger made it’s debut at the 2014 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash earlier this year and took home the top prize. Now it’s available in all Shake Shack locations (with the exception of the JFK airport Shacks) for a limited time.
